A trip to the stars from Ouarzazate, Morocco

Where are the Ancient Skies? It is becoming increasingly difficult to admire a beautiful starry sky in Europe with our urbanized flood-lit streets. It can be very cold at night, not to mention the clouds, which more often than not have the bad taste to spoil the party. To really discover the stars and marvel at the cosmos, there is nothing like staying in a sunny warm country, at altitude, far from the city. You will be accompanied by an expert who introduces you to astronomy and its wonders. This is the rationale for a new concept, astro travel: with your feet on the ground you explore thousands more glittering stars. Ouarzazate, at 1,150 m, the gateway to the Moroccan Sahara, offers one of the best skies in the world. During the day you explore extraordinary landscapes and enjoy the splendid hiking. At night, you submerse yourself in the mysteries of the universe.
